Burrell sparks Phillies

MIAMI - Pat Burrell homered and drove in four runs, Jamie Moyer pitched 62/3 innings and the Philadelphia Phillies earned their first victory after three consecutive losses, beating the Florida Marlins 8-2 on Friday night.

Burrell, who hit a three-run homer and an RBI single, and Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, who scored four unearned runs thanks to two Florida errors.

Hanley Ramirez hit a solo homer for Florida.

The Marlins' home opener drew 40,397, their largest crowd at home since the 2005 opener. But Florida gave fans little to cheer about against the Phillies, who finally looked the team touted as a likely title contender in the NL East.

The 40-year-old outfielder, acquired in a December trade to platoon at first base, led the Reds to a win for the second day in a row. Conine also had a game-tying, pinch-hit single and scored the go-ahead run against the Cubs on Thursday.

He homered off Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm (0-1) in the third inning for a 4-1 lead on Friday. He also beat out a triple to the wall in center field in the sixth, taking deep gulps of freezing air while he beat the throw to third.

Owings, who is from Gainesville and played at Georgia Tech, allowed one hit in five shutout innings in his big league debut, and Chris Young homered and drove in four runs to help Arizona.

Owings (1-0) struck out six, including Ryan Zimmerman on three pitches with the bases loaded in the fifth. As Zimmerman swung through the 88 mph offering to end the inning - and Owings' outing - the right-hander hopped off the mound and slapped his glove three times, his first real show of emotion.

Cubs 9, Brewers 3: At Milwaukee, Rich Hill retired his first 15 batters and allowed one hit in seven innings, leading Chicago.

Hill, who was shaky in his final exhibition stint of the spring, got all the run support he needed before he stepped on the mound. The Cubs scored six times in the first inning, capped by Mark DeRosa's two-run homer.

Hill's run at a perfect game and a shutout ended in the sixth when Corey Hart led off and hit a fastball deep into the Brewers' bullpen to cut Chicago's lead to 6-1.

The five-time Japanese League All-Star hit his first major league homer and sprinted home from third base on B.J. Upton's infield single with two outs in the ninth inning.

Orioles 6, Yankees 4: At New York, Mike Mussina was roughed up in his season debut and Baltimore's revamped bullpen succeeded in its first chance to protect a late lead.

Adam Loewen held New York's lineup in check, Melvin Mora played an outstanding game and Baltimore avoided opening 0-4 for the first time since 1988.

Rangers 2, Red Sox 0: At Arlington, Texas, Sammy Sosa had a bloop RBI single in the first inning when he was trying to check his swing to lead Texas.

It was Sosa's first home game for the Rangers since his rookie season in 1989. After a year out of baseball, he agreed to a minor league deal with Texas and made the team by hitting .408 with five home runs in 17 spring games.
